Sunday on the island

The first picture is of the docks at La Palapita that we took from the road .

The second picture is the wading pool.

The third is the obligatory picture of the sign for the beach!

We had such a nice Sunday! Some housework in the morning, some reading in the afternoon and then off to the beach for an afternoon swim. We went to La Palapita which is a popular hangout for locals on Sunday afternoons. It is a little beach club where you can buy a coke or a beer while catching enjoying the ocean. There’s a nice tiled wading pool for the ninos. The pool’s water is constantly being replenished by sea water and the little ones spend hours in it. The teenagers hang out on two piers in front. Ed and I watched their “king of the pier” antics for a long time. The boys just sit talking lazily with each other when all at once, they are on their feet jostling and shoving each other. They all end up in the water after doing crazy sideways dives without the benefit of their arms breaking water’s surface. It is truly amazing that our species has survived teenage years, isn’t it? It is a perfect place to swim along the shore there – plenty of fish and little boat traffic. Peggy is thinking that sometime we will see how far we can either swim or dive with the current. Probably miles! We’ll leave our bikes about where we think we’ll end up and walk or take a taxi to our start point. We’ll let you know how that event unfolds!
